Court orders celebrity parents to find balance with children

On behalf of Wilson-Goodman Law Group, PLLC posted in Fathers' Rights on Wednesday, June 20, 2018.

Angelina Jolie and Brad Pitt are two of the biggest names in entertainment. When the two married several years ago their union was celebrated by millions of people around the world. However, a few years later the pair separated and divorced, throwing chaos into the lives of their six children.

While most parents in Arizona do not need to work out the overwhelming schedules of celebrities, they may relate to the challenges that Jolie and Pitt have faced as they have attempted to co-parent their six kids. For example, Jolie has relocated to Europe for work with the children, while Pitt holds residence in the United States. Recently, however, a court has ruled that Jolie must ensure that the children have time with their father, as his absence may be detrimental to them.

Five of Jolie and Pitt's children are required to spend a court-established about of time with their father, although their oldest child has been deemed mature enough to make his own decisions on where he will spend his time. The judge in the matter noted that Jolie may lose custodial rights over the children if she fails to allow Pitt access to their children.

Any parent can struggle with custody matters, from famous Hollywood stars to parents in Phoenix who just want the best for their kids.
